Abstract excerpt
Genetic predisposition is recognized as an important factor for the development of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). To assess the potential contribution of MHC and non-MHC genes, type 2 AIH was reproduced in three mice strains, taking advantage of their different genetic makeup with regard to MHC and non-MHC genes. Mice (C57BL/6, 129/Sv and BALB/c) were DNA vaccinated with a pCMV-CTLA4-CYP2D6-FTCD plasmid coding for...
